This province, being mach oppressed, tried last year what the Caraccas effected in the pVesent, but the neightouring provinces not being ripe yet to join them, they were induCed again to acknowledge the authority of the Vice-king of Santa Fe, who had not •only promised them to forget their op - position, but also that they should retain a Provincial Junta. But the ViCe-king, again reinstated, kept 1,0 promise, h:d them' all imprisoned, and many condemned to death. " On the 2d August, some of the prisoners rose against their guards; a bloody conflitit ensued—a battalion of troops from Lima, which had been at Quito since last year, was let loose upon the people, and they have murdered, of men, women, and children, about four thousand, and plundered the stores of the Quitainan merchants. On the sth September, one thousand armed volunteers set off for the assistance of Quito, and an equal number had gam; from the intermediate provinces between San ta Fe and Quito viz. Popayan and Pastor. Three days of public mourning were observed at Santa Fe, and the same will take place here, for their brethren destroyed at Quito. The Vice-king of Santa Fe, and several of t►is Council are at present here in pri son. No blood has been shed either here or at Santa Fe." Here follows a proclamation from Don Carlos Montufar, to the people of Quito, in which he calls upon thin to rise, and says : " Terror and death have been the measures re sorted to by a crtel and destroying Government: let terror and death be tco our device. Chains and dungeons have been the means they have used to stifle the groans of humanity, crying for redress; let chains and dungeons then be the fate of our op pressors. " A whole country flies to your aid. It burns with the tire of liberty.. Heroes spring up in our streets, and already a tyrant exists not in the north of our Continent. The bloody manes of a Morales, a Quiroga, and a Salinas, point to their wounds, and cry aloud for vengeance !' Let us avenge ourselves. May the polluted . blood of those who nave precipi tated them to the tomb, glut the soil stained with their cruelties and climes. " TORRES, Secretary." GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERICA.

At one o'clock in the morning of the 23d, we joined - Major Johnson and Captain Griffith, with 21 of the Bayon Sara ca valry, and five or six other patriotic Gentlemen joined us on our march ; at four o'clock the same morning we made the attack. My orders were not to fire till we received a shot from the garrison, and cry out, in French and English, ground your arms, and you shall not be hurt. This order was strictly attended to by the volunteers, till we received a discharge of musketry front the guard-house where the Governor was, which was briskly returned by the voltfineers. We received no damage on our part. 01 the Governor's -troops, Lieutenant Louis Grand Pre was mortally wounded ; one private was killed, and four badly- wounded. We took e t pri soners, among whom are Colonel Delasus ; the rest of the garrison have been reported to you by James Neilson, Eq. who was appointed for that purpose. The various and complicated duties de volving on me from the passing circumstances of the moment forbid a more minute detail. The firmness and moderation of the volunteers, nwho made the attack, was fully equal to the best disci plined troops.

A Proclama tion was issued this morning, under pain of death, to any one who attempted to molest the person of Senor Carrasco, prohibiting the use of fire-arms in the streets, and exhorting the people to conduel them selves in a peaceable and .quiet manner. Captain Burnes was put under arrest in the barracks,- and a Captain, with his company, marched to Valparedizo, to bring Damian to this city, lest he should be li berated from prison by his friends ; but there being no foundation whatsoever for this suspicion, the troops returned to their quarters in the evening.

" BASSETERRE, GUADALOUPR, OCT. 17.-It may be desirable to be m3de acquainted with some ex trAordinaly circumstances which have occurred in this island, and which have created so much alarm and distrust, as to have put a stop ent►rely to all trade.- " It had been well known here, that positive -or ders were received from home, that men susireaed in their principles, and those without apparent means and occupations, should be removed from the island. In the intended fulfilment of those orders, at the town of Point-a-Petre, as I ant informed, about a fort night ago ; the drums beat to arms, and all persons, without distinction, were arrested in the streets, and hurried up •by soldiers to the fort, where such as were deemed-obnOxions. were detained. This mea sure produced the greatest confusion, and a mess'ige was sent to the commanding officer, by the '(:habi tants, promising that any • individuals he desired would attend his orders, and suggested, that r / there was no occasion to employ the military. This was acceded to, and on the followiog day a list orabout tifty '.ndividual s were peremptorily ordered",. to. quit the Cplony in fourteen days. Judge of the surprise created on finding in that list about t of those who pass as among the richest and most resptotable planters and merchants in the Colony, and who .had at the conquest taftv:rt the oatti of allegiance. That such a description of t»ett should oe supposed to be included in the pro scribing orders from home, did excite no com mon sensation in the minds of both .- English aed Vrench.

Although the 'intentions of our Governor are above all imputation, yet be has by this step lost a good deal of popularity. In jos• rice to him, I am happy to say, that :almost • the whole of such of those men as could prove tbe cAumnyunder, which they were suffering live.lnid‘ permission to remain in the island.
